Biril,pIaee OF Abraham.

Not far from Aleppo is situated
the little town of orfah (the ancient
Ur of the chaldees(, which is of
great historical interest, it having
been the birthplace of the patriarch
Abraham. There are few Jews in
the place, but the Arabs still point
out small building lying outside
the town, which they declare to be
the house wherein Abraham first
saw the light, and which they there
fore term Belt Ell Chalil (the house
of the friend of God.) 1t is most
improbable that the actual house
should have stood fort these thousands
of years, but the building in ques-
ton is of great antiquity. By its
present owner, an Arab peasant, as
well as the Arabs generally, it is
held in the utmost veneration, the
more so since it is feared that with
in few years it will fall to the
ground. .Je,ctsh Chronicle.

How a Parliament was Dis.
S0HvRfI


Historians tell us that hats had
something to do with the dissolution
of the Long Parliament of England.
AS soon as Cromwell had declared
that the assembly no longer existed
he put on his hat and paced up and
down the Parliament chamber. The
members were piqued by his cav
alier swagger and would not bulge
an inch. Cromwell called in Major
Harrison and the guard. The Ma
jor saw what the trouble was, and
felt that he could get the ex-depu-
ties to retire much sooner by cour-
tesy than carbines. He approached
the Speaker, took off his own hat
with much ceremony, bowed low,
and kissed the falle officials
hand. He retained the latter, how
ever, with such gentle violence that
the disposed dignitary was con-
strained to follow wither the very
but unwelcome Republican chose
to conduct him. The Major led him
out of the hall, we are told, eas a
gentleman does lady, the whole
parliament following" Thus hat
in hand helped to do what hat on
head failed to accompIish.-[ Phil

The Perslan. Antelope.

The Persian antelope seems to be
ia duplicate of his distinguished
American relative in general all
round sense; he is if anything, even
more nimble footed than the. spring
heeled habitue of the west, possesses
the same Characteristic jerky jump,
and hoists the same conspicuous
white signal of retreat. He is a
decidedly Simmer built quadruped,
however than the American ante
lope; the body is of the same square
build, but is sadly lacking in plump
ness, and. he seems to be an
altogether lankier and less well
favored animal For this con
stitutional difference lie is probably
indebtedsto the barren and inhospit=
able character of the country over
which he roams, as compared with
the splendid feeding grounds of the
far west. The Persians sometimes
hunt the antelope on horseback.
with falcons and greyhounds; the
falcons are taught to fly in advance
and attack the fleeing antelope
about the head, and so confuse them
and retard their progress in the in
terest of the hounds and horsemen.

A new baby had arrived at little
Johnny's residence, and the yonng=
ster was admitted to take his first
look at the little stranger. He sur
veyed it calmly for a moment, and
then looking up exclaimed enthu-
siastically: His face is just the
color of Uncle Georges. Gosh,
but he must be hard drinl1er.

the few cross words that pervert it

have at least three laughs during

God wishes us to have sunlight in
our homes. He would have in them
a tender play oflanghter and humor

require to be fastened to screw at
